The Queer Muhammad: an experiment in tolerance
http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/mikeadams/2006/02/13/186126.html ^ | Mike S. Adams

Dear (NEA Chairman) Dana Gioia:

I write to you today, not with a request, but with a demand. I’ve been sitting back patiently while the NEA has been promoting anti-Christian “art” for a number of years. In fact, one could say that I have been supporting it, too, given that my tax dollars have been spent on this garbage. And maybe I’ve been supporting it in another way by refusing to write you to express my frustration. That is, until now.

In the spirit of the “separation of church and state,” my demand is that you commission a painting – fully funded with tax dollars – that has one intention and one intention only: To offend Muslims everywhere

Oh come on Mr. Lesbian, Son of Caesar's response was both clever, funny and well-deserved. It restored my faith in him. Your reply was weak and worthy of the abuse button.

Son of Caesar, I assume you are a "he" since the word "son" is in your name. I trust you don't expect me to click your name before making this assumption, unlike somebody that chooses the name "Lesbian" and then gets offended when people assume he is a she.

>> what is the Islamic view of the theory of evolution in Turkey?

Same thing different country. There are those who think that God fashioned humans one way (creationists), and then there are those who think that God fashioned humans another way (evolutionists). Little do they know that they really are saying the same thing.

Olguatci, what was your impression?

Possibly, but then again, some he has sparred with demonstrated a "patently absurd" confidence in their own intellectual capacity, which amounted to little more than challenges, chest pounding and name calling.

Totally agreed. At times I was tempted to take his side, except I couldn't figure out what it was.

Darwinists equated with Islamofachists.

It is nothing of the kind; it is the use of the parody of the Christian SYMBOL that is brought into question.

Great article!

My favorite part...

That will leave me with about four million “Queer Muhammad” posters for the most ambitious aspect of my plan. This involves hanging posters on the doors of every active member of the National Rifle Association...

I can hardly wait!!

Well your opinion is idiotic. Darwinists equated with Islamofachists. What a friggin joke. You sir, I would call an ignoramus, lest the fact you do the word ignoramus injustice.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but if I did, he/she wouldn't be impressed with the quality of your response.

Turkey's view of evolution depends on where they get their checks and loans from. The average turk doesn't know beans and the parastate of Turkey could care less...as long as they keep getting their bribes...and keep doing their dirty work: supporting terror all over the middle east and russia.

As a genuine atheist I could not care less about any religion.
I may feel some twinge of pity when reading about how Shakers, Islamist, or ANY sort of "fundamentalist" choose(?) to live.
But so long as they do not attempt to impose their belief's on me, I really do not feel any need to intercede for or against them.

I was responding to an obvious attack from an obnoxious proselytizer who would not let well enough alone.
I would dub him a Troll, but I have not made the 'net my religion either, so am unsure of the exact definition parameters.

Everyone is free to engage in any delusion they like, so long as they do not attempt to impose it on others, or demand special privilege on account of it.

I find it humorous when the "devout" of any "religion" just HAVE to push their belief, it leads me to suspect that it is really themselves they are trying to convince!

Most major religions have had their turn at ruling large portions of the world, I have yet too see a single example of a truly peaceful, free, happy, and prosperous population ruled by any theocracy.

Some well know books claims to advise "moderation in all things", I would say that needs to apply to religion as well.

A truly GREAT idea, but...

The only reason that I don't support doing this right now are our service men and women overseas. I'd prefer they not come under fire for the USA to prove a point.

I think the rest of the world is getting the message with the recent cartoon fiasco and the French car torching. Let the other countries take the heat for a while.

Maybe we could put 'Printed in Belgium' on the posters and put them up outside the USA.
